How to create a dynamic UI based on user input in Bubble.io?

Create a New App

Go to your Bubble.io dashboard and click on "New App" to create a new application.
Fill in the application name, description, and choose a template if you wish or start from a blank template.
Click on "Create a New App" to proceed.

Set Up the Database

In the Data tab, create the data structure that will store the user input. For example, you can create a new data type called "UserInput" with fields like "Name," "Email," "Comments," etc.

Design the User Interface

Go to the Design tab and start by adding input fields to collect user data. You can drag and drop input elements from the left sidebar onto the canvas.
For each input field, set the Placeholder text to indicate what kind of data the user should enter. For example, "Enter your name" for a name field.
Consider adding buttons or other elements required for user interaction. For instance, you may add a "Submit" button to save the data.

Create Workflows for User Actions

In the Workflows tab, create an event for when the user clicks the "Submit" button.
Add an action to this event to save the user input into the database. Choose "Data (Things)" and select "Create a new thing."
Specify the "UserInput" data type and map each input field to its corresponding database field.

Display Dynamic Data

To display the dynamic data based on user input, go back to the Design tab.
Drag and drop repeating groups or text elements where you wish to display the data.
Set the data source for these elements to be the UserInput items from the database.
In the Repeating Group, set the type of content to "UserInput" and the data source to "Do a search for UserInput.'

Customize Data Display

Customize the repeating group or text elements to display specific fields from the UserInput data type. For example, drag a text element into the repeating group and set it to display the "Name" field.

Preview and Test

Click on the "Preview" button to see your application in action.
Test the user input fields and ensure that the data is being saved and displayed correctly.
Make any necessary adjustments to the design or workflows based on your test results.

Deploy Your Application

Once you are satisfied with your application, go to the Settings tab.
Under the General tab, click on "Deploy Development to Live" to make your application live.
